Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a connector for assisting the movement of fillers when a pocket-shaped storage member such as a bean bag is filled with fillers or moved to other pockets. More specifically, the present invention relates to a connector for moving fillers, the connector comprising a connecting portion, a first hanging portion and a second hanging portion, the inner peripheral surface of the connecting portion being formed into a band-like ring surrounding a hollow portion formed in a central portion and open at both ends; the first hanging portion being formed along the outer peripheral surface of one open end of the connecting portion and forming an edge structure; the second hanging portion being formed along the outer peripheral surface of the other open end of the connecting portion and forming an edge structure and having a shape symmetrical to the first hanging portion, and being formed such that the outer peripheral surfaces of the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion are formed with a minimum distance separated from the central axis in the two end directions of the hollow portion being greater than the distance separating the two end surfaces of the first hanging portion and the second hanging portion. Background Art

[0002] A bean bag used as a sofa, a cushion or a backrest has a filling material in the form of particles filled into a pocket-shaped fabric or leather container. The filling material moves in the internal space of the container according to the user's body shape, thereby supporting the lower part of the body.

[0003] Since the filler supports the body while moving according to the body's external shape, it can evenly distribute the body weight, thereby improving the usability. Especially when the filler is made of a highly elastic foam material, the filler can be deformed according to the body shape and the body weight can be more effectively distributed through the filler, thereby providing a more comfortable usability.

[0004] Long-term use of the bean bag will cause the volume of the filling to shrink as permanent deformation occurs. When the volume of the filling shrinks, the weight distribution and cushioning performance of the bean bag decrease, resulting in a reduced sense of use, so the filling may need to be replaced.

[0005] In addition, during the use of the bean bag, the bean bag may need to be replaced due to contamination caused by various foreign objects or damage to the bean bag. In the case where the bean bag has been used for a short time and the filling is in good condition, the bean bag replacement cost and the amount of waste generated can be reduced by replacing only the bean bag containing component.

[0006] Therefore, an opening for filling or discharging the filling is formed in the container member of the bean bag, and a Velcro, snap fastener, or slide fastener is installed at the opening to open or close the opening of the container member.

[0007] When transferring filler from a bean bag to another bean bag, or when removing existing filler from a bean bag and filling it with new filler, the filler may leak from the bean bag being filled or the temporary filler storage container.

[0008] In order to provide a cushioning feeling, due to the characteristics of the filler manufactured by the foaming process, the filler leaked to the outside will easily float away with the movement of the surrounding air and adhere to the ground by the attraction formed by static electricity, making it difficult to collect or clean the leaked filler.

[0009] In addition, since the housing member of the bean bag is made of a fabric or leather material that can be freely deformed according to the user's body shape, the opening of the bean bag is also easily deformed, and the filling may leak through a gap created by the deformed opening.

[0010] In addition, since the bean bag that can be used as a sofa or the like is large in size, when one or a small number of people perform operations such as moving the opening of the bean bag to the opening of another bean bag as a replacement or to a temporary filling storage container for the filling, it is difficult to keep the position of the opening constant, and there is a problem that the amount of filling leakage may further increase due to the inconsistency of the opening position during the filling movement operation.

[0011] As described above, in order to facilitate the storage of contents to be stored inside a pocket-shaped storage member that is easily deformable, Japanese Registered Utility Model Gazette No. 46024866 (registered on August 27, 1971) proposes a kitchen waste input funnel.

[0012] The kitchen waste input funnel is constructed by forming funnel-shaped protrusions at both ends of a hollow cylinder, collecting the input kitchen waste into the cylinder through the upper funnel, and forming a fixing part at the inlet end of a garbage disposal bag on the lower funnel.

[0013] However, since the volume and weight of bean bags used for sofas, etc. are much larger than those of food waste disposal bags, it is difficult to lift the bean bags for separating and discharging the fillings to the position of the input funnel formed on the upper part, and in the process of separating and discharging the fillings, the fillings are easily leaked as the shape of the opening of the bean bag is deformed.

[0014] In addition, when the opening of a bean bag filled with fillers or a temporary filler storage container is connected to the lower funnel, the opening fixedly connected to the lower funnel is easily separated due to the external force exerted by the weight of a large amount of fillers, and a large amount of fillers may leak out.

[0015] As another solution for preventing filling leakage, US Patent Publication No. 2010006177 (published on January 14, 2010) proposes a filling transfer system, which is formed by auxiliary wings connected to the opening of the bean bag and made of a freely deformable material.

[0016] The auxiliary wing connected to the opening of the bean bag unfolds to form a connection port inserted into the opening of another bean bag or a temporary filling storage container. A fixing member such as a zipper is installed on the auxiliary wing, which can be fixed to the opening of the other bean bag or the temporary filling storage container.

[0017] However, in the filling material moving system, when the size of the auxiliary wing is different from the size of the opening of other bean bags or temporary filling material storage containers as the filling material moving objects, when the openings on both sides are fixed by fixing members such as zippers, gaps may be formed, and when the shapes or specifications of the zippers between the openings connected to each other are different, there is a problem that the openings cannot be fixed by the fixing members.

[0018] As another solution for preventing leakage of the filling, Korean Utility Model Gazette No. 20-2023-0000596 (published on March 21, 2023) proposes fixing the opening of the packaging container between the joint between the outer peripheral surface of the tube guide inserted into the inner side of the opening of the packaging container containing the filling and the tube seat, and installing a bean bag filling cap with a removable cover on the tube seat.

[0019] A disk-shaped support portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the tube seat of the bean bag charging cap to achieve the hooking of the opening of the bean bag, and when the filling inside the packaging container is moved into the bean bag, leakage of the filling can be prevented.

[0020] However, in the case of the above-mentioned bean bag filling cap, since a method of clamping and fixing the opening of the packaging container between the joint between the outer peripheral surface of the tube guide and the tube seat is adopted, when the filling is moved to another bean bag in order to clean the bean bag in use, if the opening of the bean bag is clamped between the joint between the outer peripheral surface of the tube guide and the tube seat, there is a problem that the bean bag may be damaged.

[0021] In addition, the connector used to move the filling of the bean bag as described above can be not only a separately sold product, but also a component provided as an accessory to the bean bag as a sold product. If the structure of the connector becomes complicated or the volume becomes larger, the manufacturing unit price and product logistics costs will increase together.

[0022] In particular, as online transactions become more active, the frequency of international delivery of bean bags purchased from overseas shopping platforms is gradually increasing. In the case of air transportation, if the weight-to-volume ratio of the product is large, the volumetric weight in which the freight is increased in proportion to the volume will be applied. Therefore, if the volume of the connector becomes larger, the freight will increase significantly due to the components provided with the product.

[0023] Since the increase in the manufacturing unit price and shipping costs of connectors as incidental components is the reason for the decline in price competitiveness in online transactions, there is an increasing need to develop connectors that can achieve product price reductions as the structure is simplified and the size is reduced. Summary of the invention

[0057] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] The detailed description will be centered around parts necessary for understanding the operation and effects of the present invention.

[0059] When describing the embodiments of the present invention, descriptions of technical contents that are familiar to the technical field to which the present invention belongs and have no direct relationship with the present invention are omitted.

[0060] This is to convey the gist of the present invention more clearly without ambiguity by omitting unnecessary explanations.

[0061] Furthermore, when describing the components of the present invention, components having the same names may be denoted by different reference numerals depending on the drawings, or may be denoted by the same reference numerals even in different drawings.

[0062] But even in this case, this does not mean that the constituent element has different functions according to the embodiment, nor does it mean that it has the same function in different embodiments. The function of each constituent element should be judged based on the description of each constituent element in the embodiment.

[0063] In addition, the technical terms used in this specification should be interpreted as the meanings that are generally understood by persons with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs, and shall not be interpreted as having overly general or overly narrow meanings unless specifically defined as other meanings in this specification.

[0064] In addition, a singular expression used in the present specification includes plural expressions unless the singular expression has a different meaning in the context.

[0065] In the present application, terms such as "compose" or "comprise" should not be interpreted as necessarily including all the multiple constituent elements or multiple steps recorded in the specification, and should be interpreted as possibly excluding some of the constituent elements or some of the steps, or possibly including other constituent elements or steps.

[0066] According to the present invention, the connector (100) for moving the filler (12) is connected to an opening (10) formed in the containing member (1) in order to assist the movement of the filler (12) when the filler (12) is filled into a pocket-shaped containing member (1) filled with the filler (12), or when the filler (12) filled in the containing member (1) is discharged to the outside of the containing member (1), or when the filler (12) filled in the containing member (1) is moved to another empty containing member (1).

[0067] The containing member (1) using the connector (100) according to the present invention includes a bean bag or a bag, or various containers in the form of pockets such as bedding, and the filler (12) includes cushioning materials for bean bags or bedding, or various raw materials for manufacturing processed products.

[0068] The containing component (1) is made of fabric material, synthetic or natural leather material, so as to form a deformable amorphous container, and can form a double-layer structure or a single-layer structure combining an inner skin and an outer skin.

[0069] Since the movement of the filler (12) is accomplished by the filler (12)'s own weight, the receiving member (1) filled with the filler (12) is arranged in the lower side direction of the connector (100), and the opening (10) of the receiving member (1) faces the upper side.

[0070] In addition, the receiving member (1) for discharging the filler (12) is arranged in the upper side direction of the connector (100), and the opening (10) of the receiving member (1) faces downward.

[0071] (A) Connection between the connector (100) and the opening (10) First embodiment:

[0072] In the first embodiment of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening (10), as Figure 1 As shown, in the case of a receiving member (1) in which a connecting member (11) is formed in the opening portion (10) itself, the opening portion (10) of the receiving member (1) can be hung on the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140) of the connector (100).

[0073] Then, if the size of the opening (10) is reduced by the connecting member (11), the opening (10) will be hooked on the first hooking portion (130) or the second hooking portion (140), and when the connection member (11) forms a hook between the opening (10) and the connecting member (11), the filler (12) can be moved into the interior of the accommodating member (1).

[0074] (B) Connection between the connector (100) and the opening (10) Second embodiment:

[0075] The second embodiment of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10) can be applicable to a situation where a filler (12) stored inside an existing containing member (1) is moved to a new containing member (1) when a connecting member (11) is formed in the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) itself.

[0076] like Figure 2 As shown, after the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) are respectively connected to the opening part (10) of the containing member (1), the two containing members (1) are respectively fixed to the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) through the connecting member (11).

[0077] (C) Connection between the connector (100) and the opening (10) Third embodiment:

[0078] The third embodiment of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10) can be applied to a case where the connection member (11) is not formed in the opening portion (10) of the receiving member (1).

[0079] like Figure 3As shown, after the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) passes through the hollow portion (110) formed in the central portion of the connector (100), the opening portion (10) is turned over and put on the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140), so that the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) can be hung on the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140) of the connector (100).

[0080] In order to prevent the end of the opening portion (10) sleeved on the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140) from being separated, the end of the opening portion (10) can be fixed with a connecting member (11) such as a cable tie.

[0081] According to the first to third embodiments of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10), by fixing the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) to the connector (100), the shape and cross-sectional area of ​​the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) which is easily deformed and formed in a pocket shape can be kept constant.

[0082] Thus, when the filler (12) is filled into the containing member (1) or when the filler (12) filled into the containing member (1) is discharged to the outside of the containing member (1), the opening (10) is prevented from being deformed, thereby facilitating the operation of moving the filler (12).

[0083] The method of fixing the opening portion (10) of the accommodating member (1) to the connector (100) of the present invention is not limited to the method of the first to third embodiments according to the connection between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10), and it should be understood that a method of combining these fixing methods with each other can be applied, or a method different from this can be applied.

[0084] The structure and shape of the connector (100) of the present invention are described as follows:

[0085] As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the connector (100) is composed of a support portion (120) forming a hollow portion (110) in the center, and a first hanging portion (130) and a second hanging portion (140) formed along the outer peripheral surfaces of both ends of the support portion (120).

[0086] The hollow portion (110) forms a channel for connecting the connector (100) to the containing member (1) to move the filler (12), and the supporting portion (120) supports the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1), thereby preventing the filler (12) from leaking from the gap between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10), or reducing the moving speed of the filler (12) as the area of ​​the opening portion (10) becomes narrower due to deformation of the containing member (1).

[0087] In addition, the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) provide a hanging structure, when the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) is connected to the connector (100), the opening portion (10) is hung on the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140), thereby preventing separation between the connector (100) and the containing member (1).

[0088] The support portion (120) forms a ring-shaped closed surface structure of a strip-shaped member surrounding the hollow portion (110), forming a hollow portion (110) with an empty space inside the inner circumferential surface of the support portion (120), and one end and both ends of the support portion (120) are open.

[0089] Since the support portion (120) is composed of a strip-shaped member forming a closed curved ring, as shown in FIG8, a central axis (CS) in the direction of both ends of the hollow portion (110) is formed as an imaginary line segment (segment) connecting the two open ends of the support portion (120).

[0090] A first hanging portion (130) is formed along the outer peripheral surface of one end of the support portion (120) in the open end portion, and the first hanging portion (130) is formed so that the distance between the central axis (CS) of the two end directions of the hollow portion (110) and the outer end edge of the first hanging portion (130) is greater than the distance between the central axis (CS) of the two end directions of the hollow portion (110) and the central portion of the outer peripheral surface of the support portion (120), thereby forming a rim structure protruding in a direction away from the central axis (CS) of the hollow portion (110).

[0091] A second hanging portion (140) is formed along the outer peripheral surface of one end of the supporting portion (120) in the other open end of the supporting portion (120), and the second hanging portion (140) is formed so that the distance between the central axis (CS) of the two end directions of the hollow portion (110) and the outer end edge of the second hanging portion (140) is greater than the distance between the central axis (CS) of the two end directions of the hollow portion (110) and the central portion of the outer peripheral surface of the supporting portion (120), thereby forming an edge structure protruding in a direction away from the central axis (CS) of the hollow portion (110).

[0092] The first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) are connected to form an imaginary plane (S) in the middle of the two ends of the supporting part (120). 4) are symmetrical with each other as a reference, and a first hanging portion (130) and a second hanging portion (140) formed along the edges of one end and the other end of the connector (100) form a hanging structure in which the opening portion (10) of one or two accommodating components (1) is fixed.

[0093] In addition, if Fig.10b As shown, the support portion (120) is formed by connecting the two end portions of the support portion (120) in the central direction of the imaginary plane (S 4 ) is used as a reference and the two ends are symmetrical to each other.

[0094] In addition, the minimum distance between the protruding ends of the edges formed by the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) and the central axis (CS) of the two ends of the hollow part (110) is greater than the distance between the open ends of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) along the central axis (CS) of the two ends of the hollow part (110), that is, the length of the imaginary line segment connecting the centers of the two open ends of the supporting part (120).

[0095] The ratio of the minimum distance that the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) protrude from the central axis (CS) of the hollow part (110) and the lengths of the two open ends of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) can reduce the length of the movement channel of the filler (12) inside the connector (100), thereby preventing the volume of the connector (100) from increasing.

[0096] If the length of the two open ends between the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) of the connector (100) is reduced, it is possible to prevent the opening part (10) of the containing member (1) from moving along the outer peripheral surface of the supporting part (120) when the opening part (10) of the containing member (1) is connected and fixed to the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140), thereby improving the operational convenience of moving the filler (12).

[0097] In addition, the connector (100) according to the present invention can not only be a product sold separately, but also a component provided as an accessory to a container component (1) product such as a bean bag. If the volume of the connector (100) becomes larger, the manufacturing unit price and product logistics costs will increase together.

[0098] In particular, with the active online transactions, the frequency of international delivery is gradually increasing. For intercontinental international delivery that cannot be delivered by truck, air transportation is mainly used rather than shipping with a longer delivery time.

[0099] In the case of air transport, due to the limited loading space inside the aircraft, if the weight of the product is larger than its volume, a volumetric weight with an additional freight charge proportional to the volume will be applied. If the volume of the connector (100) becomes larger, the freight charge will increase significantly due to the connector (100) provided with the product, which may cause price competitiveness problems in online transactions requiring international delivery.

[0100] Therefore, it is preferred to manufacture the connector (100) with a synthetic resin material including plastic, thereby reducing the unit price and weight of the product.

[0101] (1) A first embodiment of a connector (100):

[0102] As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 16, an imaginary plane (S) formed along the central portion of the supporting portion (120) of the connecting connector (100) at both ends is 4 ) The cross-sectional shape of the support portion (120) cut can be formed in a circular or regular polygonal shape.

[0103] When the cross-section of the support portion (120) forms a regular polygonal shape, the filler (12) may leak through the gap between the opening portion (10) of the accommodating member (1) and the outer peripheral surface of the support portion (120) during the movement of the filler (12) through the connector (100). Therefore, it is preferred to form as many surfaces as possible on the support portion (120) so as to adopt a cross-sectional shape that is close to a circle.

[0104] When the opening portion (10) of the receiving member (1) is connected to the connector (100), a connecting member (11) is used to keep the size of the opening portion (10) constant, thereby preventing the receiving member (1) from being separated from the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140).

[0105] The connecting member (11) is composed of a member including various ropes or cable ties, or a slide fastener formed in the opening portion (10) itself, and the size of the opening portion (10) is formed to be smaller than the edge size formed by the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140).

[0106] Thus, the opening portion (10) is kept in close contact with the outer peripheral surface of the support portion (120), thereby preventing the filler (12) from leaking from the gap between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10).

[0107] However, in the case where the filler (12) is moved by connecting and fixing the connector (100) having the circular or regular polygonal cross-sectional shape of the support portion (120) according to the first embodiment by means of a zipper formed in the opening portion (10) itself, the zipper moves due to an external force applied to the connector (100) by the weight of the accommodating member (1) or the filler (12), as shown in FIG. Fig.13 As shown, the size of the gap between the connector (100) and the opening (10) may increase, and the filler (12) may leak from the gap.

[0108] (2) Second embodiment of the connector (100):

[0109] As shown in FIGS. 5, 7 and 9, the connector (100) according to the second embodiment is configured to combine the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102), wherein the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) are connected to each other by an imaginary plane (S) passing through the central axis (CS) at both ends of the hollow portion (110). 1 ) as the center to form mutually symmetrical shapes.

[0110] The outer circumferential surface and inner circumferential surface of the support portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) are bent to form a shape protruding toward the outside of the hollow portion (110), and the outer circumferential surface and inner circumferential surface of the support portion (120) of the second curved portion (102) and the first curved portion (130) and the second curved portion (140) are bent to form a shape protruding toward the outside of the hollow portion (110).

[0111] The first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) have both ends in the length direction on the imaginary plane (S 1 ) are connected to each other, and the first bent portion (101) and the second bent portion (102) form a connector (100) component.

[0112] The distances of the supporting parts (120) of the first curved part (101) and the protruding edges of the first curved part (130) and the second curved part (140) from the central axis (CS) vary according to different positions in the length direction of the first curved part (101) and the second curved part (102).

[0113] The distance dimension from the center axis (CS) on the imaginary plane (S 1), reaches a maximum value in the connection portion between the first bend (101) and the second bend (102) formed on the surface, and reaches a minimum value in the central portions of the first bend (101) and the second bend (102), thereby forming a state in which the interval between the two ends of the connection portion between the first bend (101) and the second bend (102) is greater than the interval size between the central portions of the first bend (101) and the second bend (102).

[0114] Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, a virtual plane (S) formed along the central portion of the support portion (120) of the connection connector (100) at both ends is 4 ) The cross-sectional shape of the support portion (120) cut by the cutting can be formed into a shape in which two ends of a parabola are symmetrically connected to each other or into an ellipse, or a shape in which two ends of an arch-shaped polygonal line segment are symmetrically connected to each other.

[0115] As in the second embodiment, when the accommodating member (1) is fixed to the first hanging portion (130) or the second hanging portion (140) by a zipper installed in the opening portion (10), the cross-sectional shape of the connector (100) makes the joint between the first bent portion (101) and the second bent portion (102) face the zipper.

[0116] Thus, the angle dimension of the containing member (1) on both sides of the opening portion (10) at the position where the connector (100) is inserted and thus not tightened by the zipper can be reduced, and the gap dimension between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10) caused by the external force applied to the connector (100) can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of leakage of the filler (12) generated during the movement of the filler (12).

[0117] At this time, when the cross-sectional shape formed by each support portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) according to the second embodiment is formed by two arc ends with an imaginary plane (S 1 ) are connected symmetrically to each other as a reference, the central angle size of each arc formed by the supporting portion (120) of the first bending portion (101) and the second bending portion (102) can be formed in the range of 100° to 150°.

[0118] In addition, when the cross-section of the support portion (120) constituting the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is formed in a state in which the ends of two polygonal line segments forming an arch are symmetrically connected to each other, in order to minimize the external leakage of the filler (12), it is preferred to form as many surfaces as possible on the support portion (120), thereby adopting a cross-sectional shape close to the state in which the ends of two parabolas are symmetrically connected to each other.

[0119] In particular, when the cross-sectional shape of the support portion (120) is formed in a form in which the ends of two parabolas are symmetrically connected to each other, or in a form in which the ends of two polygonal line segments are symmetrically connected to each other in an arch shape, the connecting portion between the outer peripheral surfaces of each support portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) forms a wedge shape.

[0120] One or both ends of the wedge of the joint between the outer peripheral surfaces of the support portion (120) are oriented toward a zipper suitable for the opening portion (10). When the opening portion (10) is tightened by the zipper, the wedge shape of the joint between the outer peripheral surfaces of the support portion (120) will further reduce the angle between the accommodating components (1) on both sides of the untightened opening portion (10) due to the insertion of the connector (100). Compared with other forms of the cross-sectional shape of the support portion (120), the gap size formed between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10) can be minimized.

[0121] More preferably, the central angle size of each arc formed by the supporting portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) can be formed in the range of 130° to 135°. Such an angle can appropriately maintain the moving speed of the filler (12) according to the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow portion (110) of the connector (100), and at the same time can reduce the amount of filler (12) leaking from the gap in the connection portion between the opening portion (10) of the accommodating member (1) and the connector (100).

[0122] When the central angle dimension of the arc formed by the supporting portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is less than 100°, as the gap separating the central portions of the inner circumferential surfaces of the supporting portions (120) becomes narrower, the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow portion (110) becomes smaller, and the amount of movement of the filler (12) moving through the internal space of the hollow portion (110) is excessively reduced, thereby reducing the ease of use of the connector (100).

[0123] When the central angle dimension of the arc formed by the supporting portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) exceeds 150°, the angle dimension of the container members (1) on both sides of the opening portion (10) in the area not tightened by the zipper may increase, and the external force applied by the container members (1) being pulled apart from each other may cause the zipper to move back, thereby causing the filler (12) to leak in the increased gap between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10).

[0124] In addition, when the cross-sectional shape formed by each support portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) according to the second embodiment is formed into an elliptical shape, the interval dimension D between the edge ends of the first curved portion (130) and the second curved portion (140) at the junction between the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is L The spacing dimension D between the edge ends of the first curved portion (130) and the second curved portion (140) at the central positions of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is S The ratio D L :D S It can be formed in the range of 1:0.4 to 1:0.8.

[0125] The ratio formed by the spacing dimension Ds separating the edge ends of the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) in the central positions of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is not only applicable to the case where the cross-sectional shape formed by each supporting portion (120) of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is formed in an elliptical form, but can also be applied to the cross-sectional shape in which the ends of two parabolas are symmetrically connected to each other or the ends of two polygonal line segments forming an arch are symmetrically connected to each other.

[0126] More preferably, D L and D S The ratio formed can be formed in the range of 1:0.60 to 1:0.70, which can appropriately maintain the moving speed of the filler (12) according to the size of the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow portion (110) of the connector (100), while reducing the amount of filler (12) leaking from the gap between the opening portion (10) of the accommodating member (1) and the connecting portion between the connector (100).

[0127] In D L and D S When the ratio is lower than 1:0.4, as the interval separating the central portions of the inner circumferential surface of the support portion (120) becomes narrower, the cross-sectional area of ​​the hollow portion (110) decreases, and the ease of use of the connector (100) may decrease as the amount of movement of the filler (12) decreases.

[0128] In D L and D S When the ratio exceeds 1:0.8, the angle dimension of the containing components (1) on both sides of the opening portion (10) in the area not tightened by the zipper will increase, and the amount of filler (12) leakage through the increased gap between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10) may increase.

[0129] (3) A third embodiment of the connector (100):

[0130] When a large amount of filler (12) is moved using a connector (100) such as when filling a filler (12) into a large container (1) or discharging the filler (12) from the container (1), the weight of the container (1) and the filler (12) acts as an external force, which may cause deformation of the connector (100).

[0131] In particular, since the connector (100) is made of synthetic resin material in order to reduce the unit price and weight, it is easy for torsional deformation to occur due to local external force acting on the connector (100). When the connector (100) is torsional deformed, the filler (12) may leak to the outside or damage the connector (100).

[0132] Therefore, in the connector (100) according to the third embodiment, a reinforcing structure that can be applied to both the connector (100) according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment and improves the rigidity of the connector (100) is provided.

[0133] A first anti-deformation rib (131) may be formed at an outer edge of one end of the first hanging portion (130) and protrudes to a predetermined height in a direction away from the supporting portion (120) along the length direction of the central axis (CS) at both ends of the hollow portion (110).

[0134] In addition, a second anti-deformation rib (141) can be formed at the outer edge of the other end of the second hanging portion (140) to protrude to a predetermined height in a direction away from the supporting portion (120) along the length direction of the central axis (CS) at both ends of the hollow portion (110).

[0135] The first anti-deformation rib (131) and the second anti-deformation rib (141) are formed so as to connect an imaginary plane (S) formed by the central part of the two ends of the support part (120) of the connector (100). 4 ) are shapes that are symmetrical about the axes.

[0136] (4) A fourth embodiment of the connector (100):

[0137] In the connector (100) according to the fourth embodiment, a fixing structure is provided that can be applicable to both the connector (100) according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment, and can stably connect the opening portion (10) of the accommodating member (1) through the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140).

[0138] like Fig.10a As shown, the inner side surfaces of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) facing each other form inclined surfaces that are inclined at a certain angle to each other.

[0139] A hypothetical plane tangent to the inner side surfaces of the edges of the first hanging part (130) or the second hanging part (140) facing each other is defined as a plane (S 2 ), an imaginary plane tangent to the center point of the outer peripheral surface of the support portion (120) is defined as plane (S 3 ),each plane (S 2 )、(S 3 )The inner side angle of the intersection is preferably formed in the range of 90° to 140°.

[0140] The connector (100) is manufactured by injection molding through a mold, and the inner surfaces of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) facing each other and the outer peripheral surface of the supporting part (120) are formed by a mold that is separated in a direction away from the center axis (CS) after the injection molding is completed.

[0141] At this time, in each plane (S 2 )、(S 3 ) when the inner angle of the intersection is less than 90°, when the molds are separated after injection molding, hooking may occur between the inner surfaces of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) facing each other. If the hooking between the mold and the inner surfaces of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is avoided by means of splitting the mold, this may cause an increase in the manufacturing unit price of the connector (100) as the mold manufacturing cost increases.

[0142] In addition, when the user moves the filler (12) after connecting the connector (100) to the opening (10) of the containing member (1), in order to prevent the containing member (1) from being separated from the connector (100), it is necessary to fix the size of the opening (10) by the connecting member (11).

[0143] Since the fixing of the connecting member (11) is completed by manual operation of the user, there needs to be a residual space between the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) to allow the user's fingers to fully enter and exit, but on each plane (S 2 )、(S 3 ) when the inner angle of intersection is less than 90°, as the interval between the edges of the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) decreases, the remaining space required for the fixing operation of the connecting member (11) is reduced, which may reduce the user's convenience in using the connector (100).

[0144] In addition, when the two open ends of the connector (100) are respectively connected to the openings (10) of the two containing members (1) and the filler (12) is moved, due to the increase in weight of the containing member (1) arranged in the downward direction as the filler (12) is filled, or due to external force applied by the user to the containing member (1) or the connector (100), force can be applied in a direction in which the connector (100) and the openings (10) of the containing member (1) are separated from each other.

[0145] In each plane (S 2 )、(S 3 ) when the inner angle of the intersection of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) exceeds 140°, the inner inclined surface of the first hanging part (130) or the second hanging part (140) forms a gentle angle, and the hanging effect of the opening part (10) of the accommodating member (1) through the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) may not be performed normally. When an external force in the direction of separation between the connector (100) and the opening part (10) of the accommodating member (1) is applied, the accommodating member (1) is easily separated from the connector (100), thereby greatly reducing the user's convenience in using the connector (100).

[0146] In addition, the connection portion between the inner peripheral surface of the support portion (120) and the outer side surfaces of the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) is formed into a cross-sectional shape that is chamfered into a gently curved surface. The curved chamfered cross-sectional shape of the connection portion between the support portion (120) and the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) can prevent the connection portion between the support portion (120) and the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) from being damaged due to stress concentration when external force is applied to the connector (100).

[0147] In addition, the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) can be constructed to have a certain thickness, thereby, an inclined external inclined surface corresponding to the internal inclined surface formed by the inner surface of the edge of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) can be formed on the outer side surface of the edge of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140).

[0148] The external inclined surface formed on the outer side surface of the edge of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is formed in a form in which the interval between the outer surfaces of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) decreases as the protruding edge ends of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) approach the center axis (CS) direction, and the connection part between the outer peripheral surface of the support part (120) and the inner side surface of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is also formed in a cross-sectional shape that is chamfered into a gently curved surface.

[0149] When the two open ends of the connector (100) are respectively connected to the openings (10) of the two containing members (1) and the filler (12) is moved, the external inclined surfaces formed on the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) enable the filler (12) hung on the outer surfaces of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) to move along the inclined surfaces and pass through the openings (10), thereby minimizing the amount of residual filler ((12)) remaining inside the containing member (1), thereby improving the user's convenience in using the connector ((100)).

[0150] (5) Fifth embodiment of the connector (100):

[0151] The connector (100) according to the fifth embodiment provides an ideal shape and specification of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) that can simultaneously achieve the connector (100) according to the first embodiment or the second embodiment, reduce the volume and weight of the connector (100), and ensure the hanging performance of the opening part (10) of the accommodating member (1) through the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140).

[0152] On the side surface of the connector (100) according to the arrangement direction of the connector (100) when the filler (12) is moved through the connector (100), a groove formed by the outer peripheral surface of the support part (120) and the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is formed around the side surface of the connector (100).

[0153] When the distance separating the ends of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is defined as the width of the groove, and the shortest distance from the central part of the outer peripheral surface of the supporting part (120) to the imaginary line segment connecting the ends of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is defined as the depth of the groove, the ratio of the depth dimension of the groove to the width dimension of the groove formed by the outer peripheral surface of the supporting part (120) and the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) is preferably formed in the range of 1:0.7 to 1:4.

[0154] When the ratio of the depth dimension of the groove to the width dimension of the groove is less than 1:0.7, as the gap between the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) decreases, the remaining space required for the fixing operation of the connecting member (11) is reduced, which may reduce the user's convenience in using the connector (100).

[0155] In addition, when the ratio of the depth dimension of the groove to the width dimension of the groove exceeds 1:4, in the process of ensuring the minimum size of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140) in order to prevent separation between the connector (100) and the opening part (10) of the accommodating member (1), as the volume of the connector (100) increases, it may become a reason for the increase in the manufacturing cost of the connector (100) and the delivery unit price in the logistics stage.

[0156] At this time, the minimum depth of the groove is 10 mm. By ensuring the minimum depth of the groove, when the two open ends of the connector (100) are respectively connected to the openings (10) of the two containing members (1) and the filler (12) is moved, the connector (100) and the openings (10) of the containing members (1) can be prevented from being separated from each other.

[0157] (6) The best embodiment of the connector (100):

[0158] The optimal embodiment of the connector (100) provides a connector (100) specification range for ensuring the amount of movement of the filler (12) through the internal space of the hollow portion (110) while preventing an increase in the manufacturing unit price and logistics costs as the volume of the connector (100) increases.

[0159] The cross-sectional shapes of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) are formed such that the two arcs formed by the supporting portions (120) according to the second embodiment are parallel to the plane (S 1 ) are connected symmetrically with each other as a basis, and the central angle size of each arc is preferably formed in the range of 130° to 134°.

[0160] The spacing dimension D between the edge ends of the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140) at the joint between the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) is L The first hooking portion (130) and the second hooking portion (140) are formed within a range of 250 mm to 270 mm, and the spacing dimension D between the edge ends of the first curved portion (101) and the second curved portion (102) at the central positions is S Formed in the range of 180mm to 200mm.

[0161] The width dimension of the groove, which is the distance separating the ends of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140), is formed in the range of 50 mm to 70 mm, and the depth of the groove, which is the shortest distance from the central part of the outer peripheral surface of the supporting part (120) to the imaginary line segment connecting the ends of the edges of the first hanging part (130) and the second hanging part (140), is formed in the range of 20 mm to 40 mm.

[0162] The method of moving the filler (12) using the connector (100) according to the first to fifth embodiments or the best embodiment constructed as described above is as follows:

[0163] In the process of moving the filling (12) filled in the receiving member (1) to the other receiving member (1) whose interior is empty according to the second embodiment of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening (10), especially when the connecting member (11) composed of a zipper is formed on the opening (10) of each receiving member (1), the moving of the filling (12) is carried out according to the following steps:

[0164] In a first step, a connector (100) is placed close to an opening (10) arranged in a first receiving member (1).

[0165] In the second step, the second hanging portion (140) of the connector (100) is inserted into the opening portion (10) so that the end of the opening portion (10) of the first accommodating member (1) is located between the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140), and then the connecting member (11) composed of a zipper is tightened so that the open area of ​​the opening portion (10) is smaller than the size of the cross-sectional area formed by the end of the side edge of the second hanging portion (140), thereby fixing the opening portion (10) on the second hanging portion (140).

[0166] In the third step, the first hooking portion (130) of the connector (100) is placed close to the opening portion (10) of the second receiving member (1).

[0167] In the fourth step, the first hanging portion (130) of the connector (100) is inserted into the opening portion (10) so that the end of the opening portion (10) of the second containing member (1) is located between the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140), and then the connecting member (11) composed of a zipper is tightened so that the open area of ​​the opening portion (10) is smaller than the size of the cross-sectional area formed by the end of the edge side of the first hanging portion (130), thereby fixing the opening portion (10) on the first hanging portion (130).

[0168] In the fifth step, the two containing members (1) and the connector (100) are turned over so that the containing member (1) filled with the filler (12) and the containing member (1) with an empty interior are respectively located in the upper and lower directions, and the filler (12) moves toward the containing member (1) with an empty interior due to its own weight.

[0169] After the filling material (1) is moved, in the sixth step, the opening portion (10) of each containing member (1) is separated from the connector (100). In order to prevent the filling material (12) newly filled into the containing member (1) from leaking to the outside, during the separation process of the connector (100), the opening portion (10) of the containing member (1) newly filled with the filling material (12) must be kept facing upward.

[0170] After the connector (100) of the opening portion (10) of the container member (1) for the newly filled filler (12) is separated, the zipper formed on the opening portion (10) of the container member (1) for the newly filled filler (12) is tightened to completely close the opening portion (10), thereby completing the operation of moving the filler (12).

[0171] At this time, the first and second containing members (1) respectively correspond to any one of the containing members (1) whose interiors are empty and which are filled with the filler (12) or the containing members (1) from which the filler (12) is separated and discharged.

[0172] In addition, another method for moving the filler (12) using the connector (100) according to the first to fifth embodiments or the optimal embodiment can be as follows, and other methods of moving the filler (12) are methods of combining the first embodiment and the third embodiment of the connection between the connector (100) and the opening portion (10).

[0173] The invention can be applied to a process of moving a filler (12) filled in a second container member (1) which does not include a self-formed connecting member (11) on an opening portion (10), in particular, to a first container member (1) which is formed with a connecting member (11) formed by a zipper and is in an empty state inside, or conversely, to a process of moving a filler (12) filled in a first container member (1) which is formed with a connecting member (11) formed by a zipper to a second container member (1) which does not include a self-formed connecting member (11) on an opening portion (10) and is in an empty state inside.

[0174] In a first step, a connector (100) is placed close to an opening (10) of a second receiving member (1).

[0175] In the second step, if Figure 3 As shown, the end of the opening portion (10) of the second containing member (1) is passed through the interior of the hollow portion (110) from the side formed by the first hanging portion (130), and then a portion of the second containing member (1) on the side of the end of the opening portion (10) passing through the hollow portion (110) is flipped over to cover the outer side of the connector (100).

[0176] In the third step, a connecting member (11) which is separated from the opening portion (10) of the second containing member (1) and independently constructed is installed so that it surrounds the outer peripheral surface of the supporting portion (120) of the connector (100), and the outer peripheral surface of the supporting portion (120) and the portion of the second containing member (1) covering the connector (100) are tightly fixed to each other through the connecting member (11).

[0177] At this time, the connecting member (11) of the second containing member (1) can be composed of any one selected from cable ties, ropes, and clips. If it is a member with similar functions, it can also be composed of a member of a different type from the above-mentioned members.

[0178] In the fourth step, the second hanging portion (140) of the connector (100) is inserted into the opening portion (10) so that the end of the opening portion (10) of the first accommodating member (1) whose interior is empty and to be filled with the filler (12) is located between the first hanging portion (130) and the second hanging portion (140).

[0179] Then, by tightening the connecting member (11) formed by the zipper, the open area of ​​the opening portion (10) is made smaller than the size of the cross-sectional area formed by the end of the edge side of the second hanging portion (140), thereby fixing the opening portion (10) on the second opening portion (140).

[0180] In the fifth step, the two containing members (1) and the connector (100) are turned over so that the second containing member (1) and the first containing member (1) are respectively located in the upper and lower directions, and the filler (12) moves from the second containing member (1) to the inside of the first containing member (1) due to its own weight.

[0181] After the movement of the filler (1) is completed, the sixth step is performed, in which the opening portion (10) of each receiving member (1) is separated from the connector (100).

[0182] At this time, when the containing member (1) of the newly filled filler (12) is the first containing member (1), the connecting member (11) of the first containing member (1) is tightened to completely close the opening (10) of the first containing member (1); when the containing member (1) of the newly filled filler (12) is the second containing member (1), the opening (10) of the second containing member (1) is closed by a separate connecting member (11), thereby preventing external leakage of the filler (12).
